Received Official Notice of CISSP & Continuing Education

I received my official notice of CISSP acceptance based on filing my endorsement paperwork yesterday.

I'm officially a CISSP, thanks to all in this forum which was a big part of my success.

I have a question as a new CISSP, what do folks do for continuing education credits?

Thanks,

That's easy. For example, preparation for successfully passed exam in CISSP domains (i.e. almost any IT exam) equals to 30 "A" CPE credits (IIRC). All you have to do is pass ~1 exam each year and you'll be fine.

Another way to do that is to read blogs and watch videos, I'm sure that majority of folks in here read and watch way much more information than required by CPE guidelines. Just find 5 minutes in your upcoming year to file what you've read & watched to ISC2 and you'll be fine.

And again, congrats on your CISSP!

@gespenstern's suggestion of taking another IT exam is a good way to earn 30 points. Top it up by reading (ISC)2 magazine and passing the quiz to get 2 credits per issue. Up to 20 hours can be Group B credits; these are professional development activities that are not infosec related, examples being management, accounting and programming courses. You do need to track your activities as proof in the event of audit.

(ISC)2 has more suggestions at https://www.isc2.org/cissp-cpe-opportunities/default.aspx.
